Radford University is distinguished by a large selection of academic programs, a student-focused faculty, and a student body deeply engaged in university life. Apply now for admission as a new freshman, transfer student or graduate student.

Radford University takes a holistic approach to reviewing applications and will never impose cut-off dates or offer guarantees of acceptance arbitrarily.

Radford University views everything that an applicant submits in an effort to get to know that individual as well as possible. Each application is reviewed by members of the Admissions committee in an effort to select potential Radford University students who we believe would not only find academic success at Radford, but also become positive contributors to our community.

To this end, Radford University Admissions reviews academic transcripts, the strengths of an applicant’s High School curriculum, standardized testing, letters of recommendation and all other materials submitted.

Applicants for graduate admissions must apply online and include all relevant materials required by the program. The online application is used by degree-seeking, non-degree, and international applicants and all applications require payment of a non-refundable fee ($50). All degree-seeking applicants must submit an official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended.

Applicant files are forwarded to the appropriate department for evaluation and a recommendation regarding admission when the application is complete. The final decision on admission rests with the Dean of the College of Graduate and Professional Studies.
